This is certainly a fun story to write. I like Jericho and Herald together.
Two days later
Jericho sat on the couch next to Herald and Jinx watching a movie. Although he enjoyed hanging out with his friends when they weren't fighting crime, he wished they wouldn't pick such scary movies. His lime-green eyes were squeezed shut and hidden behind Herald's cape. Herald had laughed at first when his boyfriend had first picked up the corner of his cape, but now he enjoyed it. It was the first time he realized that perhaps his feelings for Jericho were more than just platonic comraderie.
The first time he met Jericho was before the Brain had attacked. He met Jericho through music. Jericho had been playing his guitar on his mountain, and though he lacked training his music was so pure that it reached the Herald in another dimension. He had perfect pitch, and added to his powers, he could hear music everywhere. He went to investigate, and when he found the souce of the beautiful strains he found him. Jericho looked up with his startled eyes, and the Herald was quick to introduce himself. They spent some time playing music together, and Herald made time every week to see him.
Now, Herald was nineteen and Jericho was seventeen, and Herald had sworn to himself that he would keep his silent friend safe. He was snapped out his reverie by a scream from the movie, one that most likely would have been accompinied by one from Jericho if he could speak. He looked over at his boyfriend and saw he was staring wide-eyed at the screen, terrified of the Hollywood gore. Herald smiled and wormed his hand into Jericho's. Jericho squeezed his hand and tore his face from the screen to bury it in Herald's cape once more. He wanted to snuggle into Herald's shoulder, but the trumpet player wasn't the most overt with his feelings. Jericho was fine with that though because the moments when Herald truly let him inside those walls were all that more special.
Kid Flash and Hotspot were arguing about the merits of some horror versus some other horror movie, both of which Jericho had never seen, while Aqualad and Jinx laughed at the fake blood. Finally the movie ended and Jericho relaxed. By now, Hotspot (in human form, not fire) and Kid Flash were fighting and Aqualad was chasing them around trying to break them up. Suddenly the alarms went off.
"Oh, come on! Who attacks a city at ten o'clock at night?" Jinx grumbled as she walked to the moniters. "Well, there's no info on who or what it is, but something's happening downtown."
When they reached the disturbance they were greeted by a mob of citizens in a zombie-like trance. They were robbing the city's largest bank, carrying out armfuls of money and dumping it in a large pile. They seemed unorganized and confused, but the Titans couldn't let them continue what they were doing.
"Don't hurt them! They're being controlled by something!" Aqualad led his team into the fray. Though each member of the team was skilled, it was hard to fight without causing any pain. Finally Jericho managed to possess one of the men, and through him he saw what he needed to do.
"Aqualad!" Jericho spoke with the man's voice. "They need to be shocked out of their trance! Use the water from hydrant to drench them, and they should return to normal. The connection between them and whomever is controlling them is weak." Aqualad nodded and motioned to Kid Flash to round up the people. Jinx busted a fire hydrant and Aqualad sent the water at the mob. When the water cleared, the people sat up in a daze and began asking where they were.
The Titans believed they were victorious and returned to their tower. They were all exhausted, and went to bed. Herald kissed Jericho on the cheek, said goodnight, and went into his room across the hall. Jericho retreated into his room and began to take off his gold wrist bands, purple tunic, and white shirt. Suddenly he whipped around on full alert.
There was someone in his room.
Please review and let me know what you think of the plot so far. Sorry this is so short, but I just wanted to get this out there.
